Chapter 2759
Gwen could no longer hear anything Steven said after that.
She bit her lip, and despite her gaze remaining on the laptop screen, her thoughts had already drifted far, far away.
These days, all her interactions and conversations with Steven flashed through her mind.
Then, a memory of Luke.
The two of them were lying on the roof at midnight, stargazing, with Luke’s arms around her.
He curled his lips into a smile and said, “Gwen, sometimes I really wish we could go back in time.
“If only I hadn’t gone into this business, and if only I had met you before I became a gangster.
“Sometimes, I wonder if things would be better if I became a kind, handsome gentleman with a good family background and education.
“If I were someone like that, no one would ever dare to bring up your past, and everyone would give us their blessings.
“Gwen, I really hope that if we do meet again in our next
lives, we won’t have to deal with something like this again.”
Gwen bit her lip and wrung her hands when she recalled this.
When Luke had said this to her, she thought he was just spouting nonsense.
It was after a long time that she finally realized these were his deepest, most heartfelt thoughts.
“Gwen.” Denise sighed when she saw Gwen staring dazedly at the computer. “Do you now understand why I hope you’d leave my brother alone after all this is over?
“Your existence causes him tremendous guilt, and he truly wants to return everything to you and Luke.
“He’s a kind–hearted soul, and he’d rather sacrifice himself just to return what was rightfully yours and Luke’s. He’s not the selfish person that you think he is.”
A twinge of pain shot through Gwen’s heart.
A split second later, she opened her eyes and turned to stare at Denise. “Don’t worry; I promise I will stay away from Steven after all this is over.”
Steven would never force her and Luke to stay apart just for himself, so how could she let such a selfless person give his life up for her?
She was the one who should not even exist.

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
Luna is sooo stupid!...
This story line is sickening… her children, Nellie in particular, do not like Malcolm. She is already married to Joshua, the father of her children who loves her more than Malcolm ever could. Just disgusting....
Another “misunderstanding”…… poor Luna, why can’t she just say the Quinns kidnapped me instead of assuming Joshua is doing the wrong thing. Terrible....
I sure hope Aura gets arrested and pays for her many crimes soon, along with Adrian and Michael. Joshua and Luna need peace with their children....
Joshua is stupid, he says he loves Luna but refuses to tell her the truth thinking he can never recover from all the deceit, if he told the truth he could redeem himself and live a happy life with his family rather than continue to protect a bunch of evil criminals. Terrible decisions by a man who is smart enough to run a multi faceted company....
Omg this author is twisted!! When does Luna catch a break! This is awful. Aurasnd Fiona are evil, evil women and are using the children to commit their crimes 🤬...
And now the author has made it sound like he cares more for Fiona who he has only known a couple of weeks than Luna, his wife, the love of his life. Stupid and pathetically disgusting....
Wow, making Joshua out to be so stupid, ugh. Yes he told this horrible bitch he would accompany her until she died, but she lied about her fake illness so I guess he’ll have to live with her forever! He also promised to love, honor and cherish his wife Luna however seems to forget that with each passing malicious mistress, Aura, Alice and now Fiona. Awful. Let’s get past this into some storyline that involves some happiness for Luna… the only woman who truly cares for and loves him. Get rid of Fiona, soon....
So disgusted with this Fiona storyline, hope it doesn’t last much longer. Joshua told her when they made the deal he had someone in his heart and would not sleep with her. They could be faking a relationship and he doesn’t have to be so nasty to Luna and the kids. It’s heartbreaking and giving him another ridiculous relationship is unnecessary. Just makes more misunderstandings for Luna and harder for her to forgive him....
Joshua is in the wrong, even if Fiona asked him to keep their fake relationship a secret he should have told Luna what was going on. After all, supposedly he lives Luna and the children and is doing this for them. Being deceiving is not working for him....
